Swim Mike Swim: A great experience

Swim Mike Swim: A great experience



He did it in 13hrs 31min
I want to swim the English Channel for another reason as well: to raise money to build a school in Waku Kungo, Angola. Angola is not a "sexy" African country. It has no big animals, no rainforest, no tribal nomads with face paint. It has instead the results of a 27 year civil war, from which the country is now emerging. And it has hope - the hope of a peaceful future, the hope of recontruction, the hope of it's children, who deeply long for education. I will raise at least $50,000 to help these children flourish and rebuild their country. Doing something challenging for the children of Waku Kungo is not a burden, but a gift

Great job Mike!
